“Equal parts soaring fantasy, heart-pounding action, and bloody social commentary, Blood Scion is a triumph of a book.” —Roseanne A. Brown, New York Times bestselling author of A Song of Wraiths and Ruin

This is what they deserve.

They wanted me to be a monster.

I will be the worst monster they ever created.

Fifteen-year-old Sloane can incinerate an enemy at will—she is a Scion, a descendant of the ancient Orisha gods.

Under the Lucis’ brutal rule, her identity means her death if her powers are discovered. But when she is forcibly conscripted into the Lucis army on her fifteenth birthday, Sloane sees a new opportunity: to overcome the bloody challenges of Lucis training, and destroy them from within.

Following one girl’s journey of magic, injustice, power, and revenge, Deborah Falaye’s debut novel, inspired by Yoruba-Nigerian mythology, is a magnetic combination of Children of Blood and Bone and An Ember in the Ashes.

I enjoyed the story and the narrator. I hope it doesn't end there. I need to know where it goes from there.

I really liked the main character it was great way to talk about terrible realities many across the world are subjected to.

Strong female character

This story was powerful but miserable. It’s not something I can casually recommend because what little light and hope there was was always squashed. Though I found Solange sympathetic, acknowledging that she was in a rough situation I could NEVER imagine facing, I can’t say she’s someone I admire or even like. She killed too many of her own people.

Good, but uncomfortable

This book is so, so good. Very eye opening and makes you consider perspectives that maybe most people don’t. Awesome hero story, great fantasy world, amazing storytelling. So, so good. Please read this book. And the narrator is *perfect* for the role. Five stars.

This is the first time I can say I loved the story but wasn’t a fan of the protagonist. To me she was very selfish and she sacrificed any and everyone that got in the way of accomplishing her goal. Even people who helped her out. She was quick to turn her back on other people to get were she needed to go but shocked when it was done back to her exp. Jericho, Nazanin, Amiyah/Izara and especially Téo but shocked when Omari/Dane betrayed her. Omari was correct when he said we are soldiers doing what we need to do. She did that to others but was hurt when they did it back. She was a child soldier yes but she could have said “no” just like Teo did. Plus she and Teo could have been powerful together if she wasn’t only after just saving herself!!

Very interesting debut
